FVE_E_POLICY_REQUIRES_RECOVERY_PASSWORD_ON_TOUCH_DEVICE

FVE_E_POLICY_REQUIRES_RECOVERY_PASSWORD_ON_TOUCH_DEVICE The effective policy requires a recovery password, but this touch device has neither a usable pre-boot keyboard nor a properly available Windows Recovery Environment. A user might be unable to enter the required recovery value during a boot problem.

What to check

  • Verify pre-boot input availability and the Windows Recovery Environment configuration for this device.
  • Review whether the recovery-password requirement is compatible with the hardware design.
  • Make sure an approved recovery workflow remains usable before enabling BitLocker protection.
